"CSR is a relatively recent concept in Latin America. This essay presents an overview of the CSRmovement
in this region. It first of all examines the historical-religious and -cultural background of
the concept and states that CSR is still strongly associated with philanthropy. Philanthropy, however,
is very often rooted in religious traditions and became an important corporate instrument for social
engagement. Secondly, it explores currently relevant macrostructural conditions of the region which are
